"Schönborn warns of Islamic conquest of Europe" (ORF), "Schönborn, Many Muslims want a conquest of Europe '" (OE24). The headlines can herald a departure from the current suspect "Welcoming Path". But is that true really?
Active advocate of an unconditional border opening
Vienna archbishop, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, was thought to be one of the most active advocates of an unconditional border opening for mass immigration. A process which goes forward under the heading of "Refugee Aid", and since last year, has dominated the political debate not only in Austria.
Church institutions are among the main service providers that organize the reception of refugees professionally on behalf of the state. However, a majority of them are economic migrants, as government politicians now admit. The proportion of genuine refugees under the international conventions is given, depending on the estimate, as 20-33 percent. For each genuine refugee therefore up to four economic migrants has entered the country.
However, Cardinal Schönborn refused, together with Caritas and much of the political elite, to makeany differentiation. A refusal which corresponds to the attitude of the immigration party par excellence, the Greens, which was acquired in 2015 for still unknown reasons by both Austrian government parties, the Social Democratic SPÖ and the Christian Democratic People's Party. The bold slogan displayed, Refugee Welcome comes from the vocabulary of the extreme left.
Voting advice for candidates of the immigration parties par excellence
Last May, Cardinal Schönborn, in the context of an election campaign dominated by the subjects of mass immigration and Islamization, made a bizarre recommendation for voting- which he did not want to be understood as such - for the Federal presidential candidate of the Greens, Alexander Van der Bellen. The president of the Austrian Bishops' Conference caused a stir with the statement:
"Nobody has the truth, also not yourself."
In Catholic circles in Vienna, the statement unusual for a Catholic bishop, was evaluated as a benevolent signal to the Masons. Van der Bellen was accepted by a Masonic Lodge in Innsbruck in 1975. In contrast, his opponent, Norbert Hofer, of the nationalist conservative Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) belongs to the Order of St. George, which seems to impress the Cardinal far less.
Salzburg Auxiliary Bishop Andreas Laun had previously responded to voting recommendations of Catholic organizations for Van der Bellen after which the diocesan bishops, including the Archbishop of Vienna, were enveloped in silence:
"That Christians are either thinking about or, even worse, are already brainwashed so that they are ready, rather are prepared to choose a declared enemy of God and of the Church - and want also to to seduce others into their error - shows in what state certain circles in the church are found. "
The election was annulled by the Constitutional Court because of irregularities and must be repeated in the autumn. Whether Schönborn repeats or not his election manifesto, which no one was supposed to, repeated or not, should be the test of truth for his statements made last Sunday and the credibility of the Church in Austria.
Consistently wrongly analysed mass immigration
In December 2015 Schönborn had sharply criticized the "refugee policies" of the Austrian neighboring countries, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland in the Slovak weekly magazine, Týždeň. He accused the governments of these countries of being "blinded by a vicious propaganda". He is "ashamed" that the rejection of a mass immigration by these countries is supported "in so-called Christian arguments" such s the "fear of Islamisation". A "rational calculation" shows that Europe "needs millions of immigrants to maintain our lifestyle." Schönborn revealingly honestly indicated that in reality there are very different motivations behind the "refugee crisis".
Still on 13 March 13 Schönborn reiterated in the ORF television programme, Pressestunde (Press Hour) that the Austrian Church hierarchy "consistently has wrongly analyzed mass immigration" (see The ecclesiastical "refugee" delusion continues - Cardinal Schönborn's dangerous illusions and the decline of the church). The attitude of the church hierarchy was marked by "clandestine agreements, self-censorship, confused talk" and "siding with the powerful," says the Catholic theologian and pro-lifer, Wolfram Schrems.
But what does Cardinal Schönborn say now?
"Today 333 years ago Vienna was saved. Will there now be a third attempt at an Islamic conquest of Europe? Many Muslims think and wish that and say: This is Europe at the end. And I think that what Moses does today in the reading and what God the Merciful does with his younger son, we should ask for Europe today: Lord, give us another chance! Do not forget that we are your people just as Moses reminds him: It's YOUR people, YOU have led them out, YOU have sanctified them, it is YOUR people. "
The statement is less spectacular than some media stressed. And yet, from the mouth of the Vienna archbishop, it is somewhat spectacular to hear that he is convinced that "many Muslims think and wish" that there is a "third attempt of Islamic conquest of Europe". It was not a real "warning", such as claimed by ORF, however.
Where did the cardinal say it?
The statement came on September 11, at the end of his homily for this year's Feast of the Holy Name of Mary in Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral. The festival is an annual meeting, which was founded by the Franciscan Petrus Pavlicek in 1947 as the prayer campaign, the Rosary Crusade of Expiation.
Cardinal Schönborn is reputed to be adaptable to each audience. Is this true for his sermon last Sunday? Was it a realization after a process of reflection that led the Cardinal to think that "Europe is at the end", that Europe "is well on the way to forfeiting its Christian heritage"? Or was the Cardinal only paying lip service given a pious and "conservative" target audience?
The relativisation
When his unusual statements were found to be spreading fast on the Internet and were interpreted as a departure from the previous "Welcoming Path" in matters of immigration and asylum, the Cardinal promptly announced a correction. On Twitter, he was eager not to let a false impression arise:
"Do not understand my sermon as a call for repelling the refugees".
He also referred to the website of the Archdiocese of Vienna, on which the "the intention of the sermon was again clarified", as ORF reported. The archdiocese had published the sermon as a text and to be sure added a commentary to prevent any misunderstanding arising.
The blame is not with Islam, nor the Islamists, the cardinal let it be known. The "Christian heritage of Europe we (have) put in danger ourselves."
The commentary explains: "Islamism could indeed be the beneficiary [...]. But hope lies in the mercy of God "Then the comment is even clearer: "From the context, it is also clear that the Cardinal is not entering a defensive struggle to defend Christian values against Islam ".
In Sonntag, the weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese, Cardinal Schönborn gave the "following clarification":
"Europe's Christian heritage is at risk because we Europeans have squandered it. It is nothing to do with Islam or even the refugees. It is clear that many Islamists would like to take advantage of our weakness, but they are not responsible for our weakness. We Europeans ourselves are responsible. "
So nothing new in Vienna? "Nothing new," confirms a Viennese informant.

AOR Project CARS 2 GT3 Leagues - Season 11
Car and Team Registration Thread
Car Selection
You are free to choose whichever GT3 car you desire, except the Ferrari 448 GT3 as the car is banned for this season. There are no restrictions on how many of each car is allowed in the league, so either pick your favorite, or be brave and try something new!
If you're planning to run in a team, be sure to choose the same car as your team-mate as you will not be allowed to have different cars in the same team.
Team mates are also required to run matching liveries.
We advise you test all of the cars out before you decide. Try to consider all factors, from the pace of the car, how it suits your driving style, how hard it is on the tires over a race distance, stability in different weather conditions and so on.
Changing car pick
You are free to change your pick at any point up until the first race of the season. As in the last seasons, we're allowing drivers to make one car change during the season if you feel you have made a mistake in your selection, however the following criteria must be met before this can be done:
Team Selection
- You must contest at least 3 races with your current car before being able to change it.
- You accept that by changing your car, your current points tally will be reset to 0, and you will lose all points which count toward drivers championships.
- You accept that you are only allowed one change per season, and you will not be allowed to change your car again for the rest of the season.
Once you have selected a car, we recommend you team up with another driver. This is not mandatory, but greatly encouraged.
Regardless of the category, regardless of how high up the ladder a driver goes, there is always one thing that all racers aspire to do - beating their team-mates.
You can choose your team-mate and compete for joint glory under your own team-name!*
*Subject to approval - Vulgar, hateful or offensive names will be disallowed.
There will be a maximum of 2 drivers per team. Team-mates will be required to use the same car and same livery, or same team livery (same design but with alternate colors).
If you do not join a team, you will only score points in the Drivers Championship. Drivers who do not join a team at the beginning can create a team later in the season should a new driver join the league wanting a team-mate. All previous points from the established driver will be transferred to the new team.
All Teams must be created by the 4th round, at which point no new teams may be created as not to interrupt the Teams Championship.
Where possible, we'd like each team to run it's own unique livery, however we are aware that not all cars have a large variety of liveries to select from. It's first come, first served in regard to livery selection, so get your choices in fast!
Note: In-game liveries must be used, custom liveries are not allowed

Ahsoka Tano, nicknamed Snips by her master, was a Togruta Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars, the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Tano was assigned to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker by Jedi Grand Master Yoda, and showed an eagerness to prove herself worthy to be his apprentice. Tano was involved in the defeat of the Separatist army on the planet Christophsis, and was important to Republic efforts during the Battle of Teth. Along with Skywalker, Tano was instrumental in acquiring the Republic's safe passage through Hutt Space, due to her part in rescuing the son of Jabba the Hutt, which ensured an alliance between the Republic and the Hutt clans.

Is diabetes curable?
There is no cure for diabetes. Neither type 1 (juvenile-onset or insulin-requiring) diabetes or type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes ever goes away.
In type 1 diabetes:
- In type 1 diabetes, patients sometimes experience what physicians have come to call a "honeymoon period" shortly after the disease is diagnosed. During the "honeymoon period," diabetes may appear to go away for a period of a few months to a year. The patient's insulin needs are minimal and some patients may actually find they can maintain normal or near-normal blood glucose taking little or no insulin.
- It would be a mistake to assume that diabetes has gone away, however. Basically, type 1 diabetes occurs when about 90 percent of the body's insulin-producing cells have been destroyed.
- At the time that type 1 diabetes is diagnosed, most patients still are producing some insulin.
- If obvious symptoms of type 1 diabetes emerge when the patient has an illness, virus or cold, for example, once the illness subsides the body's insulin needs may decrease.
- At this point, the number of insulin-producing cells remaining may be enough — for the moment — to meet the person's insulin needs again.
- But the process that has destroyed 90 percent of the insulin-producing cells will ultimately destroy the remaining insulin-producing cells.
- And as that destruction continues, the amount of injected insulin the patient needs will increase — and ultimately the patient will be totally dependent on insulin injections.
Scientists now think that it is important for people with newly diagnosed diabetes to continue taking some insulin by injection even during the honeymoon period. Why? Because they have some scientific evidence to suggest that doing so will help preserve the few remaining insulin-producing cells for a while longer.
Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes:
- Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes may discover that if they are overweight at diagnosis and then lose weight and begin regular physical activity, their blood glucose returns to normal. Does this mean diabetes has disappeared? No.
- The development of type 2 diabetes is a gradual process, too, in which the body becomes unable to produce enough insulin for its needs and/or the body's cells become resistant to insulin's effects. Gradually the patient goes from having "impaired glucose tolerance" — a decreased but still adequate ability to convert food into energy — to having "diabetes."
- If the patient were to gain the weight back or scale back on their physical activity program, high blood glucose would return. If they were to overeat at a meal, their blood glucose probably would continue to go higher than someone without diabetes.
- Also, the decreased insulin production and/or increased insulin resistance that led to the initial diabetes diagnosis will gradually intensify over the years and during periods of stress. In time, the patient who could maintain normal blood glucose with diet and exercise alone may discover that he or she needs to add oral diabetes medications — or perhaps even insulin injections — to keep blood glucose in a healthy range.
- The good news for type 1 and type 2 patients is that if insulin, medication, weight loss, physical activity, and changes in eating result in normal blood glucose, that means their diabetes is well controlled and their risk of developing diabetes complications is much lower. But it doesn't mean that their diabetes has gone away.

The Vibe There's nothing quite like stepping out your door into one of the city's prettiest panoramas: a pedestrian-only beachfront street lined with coconut trees and café tables. The hotel dates to the 1970s, and its main amenity is an ocean-fronting restaurant that draws guests and locals alike.
Rooms Simple, tidy standard rooms face an interior wall and don't receive much (if any) natural light, while the bigger, brighter deluxe ones provide unobstructed ocean views.

Leader of Mexico's Gulf Drug Cartel Captured
- August, 18, 2013 - 13:32
- Other Media news
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The leader of the Gulf cartel, one of Mexico's oldest drug-running groups, has been captured, Mexican officials said.
Mario Armando Ramirez Trevino was apprehended by the Mexican army Saturday morning, according to a government statement. The arrest took place in Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas, near the Texas border, Mexican media said.
Ramirez, 51, known as "El Pelon," or "The Bald One," was indicted on drug distribution charges in a US federal court in 2008. The US State Department has offered a reward of up to $5 mln for his arrest. He is presumably also wanted on similar charges in Mexico, Los Angeles Times reported.
The arrest dealt a blow to a drug-running enterprise whose power has waned in recent years with the rise of other criminal groups across Mexico.
The Gulf Cartel, whose roots as a smuggling outfit date to the 1930s, was once a formidable force in the Mexican drug game.
Though it is still involved in marijuana and cocaine smuggling to the US through the border city of Matamoros, near the southernmost tip of Texas, its power has diminished in recent years with the rise of the ruthless Zetas cartel. The Zetas began as a paramilitary wing of the Gulf cartel, but eventually split off.
In recent years, the Gulf cartel joined forces with the powerful Sinaloa cartel in an effort to push back against the Zetas. The result was a gruesome turf war in numerous Mexican states.

Sometimes Mother Nature shows no mercy. That was the case Wednesday night for the Red Sox. A rainout to wash away a runaway loss would have been heaven from the heavens.
Instead, the only deluge at Fenway Park last night came in the form of runs, not rain. The Twins flooded the bases with 20 hits and saturated the scoreboard. They had 14 runs and 16 hits after five innings and went on to a 15-8 victory.
The pregame rain faded away, but the Sox' first real adversity of the season did not. Now, we're going to see what these remade Red Sox are really made of.
It's easy to have great chemistry and a congenial clubhouse when you're rolling, racking up wins and exceeding expectations. But now the Sox are mired in a skid of five losses in six games. Both their closers reside on the disabled list, the back end of their rotation looks murkier than the Mystic River, their best starting pitcher is fending off allegations that he's slathering SPF-50 on the ball for his benefit, and their best hitter saw his 27-game hit streak come to an end, a day after explaining why he's not on steroids.
David Ortiz tweeted after the game on his Twitter-verified account: "End of my hitting streak tonight the season stil [sic] going and l hope Dan shaugnessy [sic] is a happy man now. . ."
This is what happens when you're on top. You become a target. The Patriots have been dealing with it for years. It's part and parcel of being a good team, which the Red Sox look like they are this season, despite their recent dip.
The last time the Red Sox had a team that was in contention we saw how they dealt with obstacles and adversity. They didn't.
The 2011 Red Sox, the putative "Best Team Ever" let a snowball become an avalanche, a 7-20 September that swept them out of a playoff berth and led to an extreme makeover in the manager's office and the front office. The Red Sox are still recovering from that calamity.
If the Red Sox have truly gotten a personality transplant with imports like Jonny Gomes, David Ross, Mike Napoli, and Ryan Dempster then they won't let a little distress become a protracted downturn in play.
Gomes, who had a grand slam in the first inning and drove in five runs, said the Red Sox baseball character came to the forefront in the blowout.
"If anyone is checking for a character check about what happened today, being down [eight] runs and guys beating out infield singles, guys breaking up two, [Dustin Pedroia] diving all over the field, Napoli drawing walks, good defense throughout, not one person threw away an at-bat," said Gomes.
"Like I said, whether you win by a bunch it's one win, whether you lose by a bunch it's one loss. But I'll tell you what the character of this team really stuck out today."
There's a good chance that many watching this carnage unfold at the Fens quickly tuned it out and turned to the Bruins game.
The Red Sox and the Lords of the Laptop in the press box didn't have that option, sadly.
Youngster Allen Webster, who came over from Los Angeles in the deal that freed the Red Sox of the undesirable souls and payroll of Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, and Adrian Gonzalez, lasted just 1⅔ innings in his second major league start, charged with eight runs.
Webster could have used all the sunscreen and rosin he could find on Wednesday night because he lost his grip on this game right away.
It was a 31-pitch first inning for Webster. He started and ended it with strikeouts, but in between the Twins, who came in 25th in the majors in runs scored, installed turnstiles on the base paths.
With one out, Webster walked Joe Mauer and Josh Willingham. Justin Morneau then hit a ground-rule double to right field to score a run. Trevor Plouffe brought home Willingham with a sacrifice fly. Then Ryan Doumit hit a 1-and-2 fastball into the bullpen and it was 4-0.
Gomes crushed a two-out grand slam in the bottom of the first that cleared the Sports Authority sign above the Green Monster. It was Gomes's fourth career grand slam. His last came at Minnesota off Francisco Liriano. The pitcher he hit it off, Pedro Hernandez, was part of the two-player package the Twins received from the White Sox for Liriano last season. Stephen Drew drove in Jarrod Saltalamacchia to make it 5-4, Sox.
But the Red Sox' reprieve — like the rain — was short-lived. Minnesota sent 11 men to the plate in the second and ended it with an 11-5 lead.
Plouffe launched a two-out Fenway fly-ball double that scored Mauer, chased Webster, and made it 7-5 Twins. Felix Doubront was on in relief. He didn't provide any, allowing four more Twins to cross the plate. Pedro Florimon, who had led off the second with a solo homer, doubled into the gap in left-center for the sixth and seventh runs of the inning.
"In their seven-run inning things got away from us," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "They continued to tack on. In short, it was a tough night on the mound.''
Doubront, who had his turn skipped after a rough start in Texas to make way for Webster, was used as a bullet-proof vest for the bullpen.
He threw 105 pitches and allowed six runs of his own over 5⅓ innings.
No matter the score, the Sox still play "Sweet Caroline" in the eighth inning. The only thing that was so good, so good, about this game was that it was eventually over after 3 hours and 42 minutes.
But now that some of their flaws have been exposed and some nerves have been irritated we're beginning to learn how these Red Sox will respond to the road to redemption turning a bit bumpy.

April 24, 2014
Aries March 21 - April 19
Are you going on a trip or possibly moving, Aries? Is education involved in some way? Whatever your reasons for going away, you're going to gain whatever you hope for - and more. Writing, teaching, and anything involving communication should go very well right now, including conversations with a romantic partner. Your mind is quick and retentive right now, so make the most of it.
Taurus April 20 - May 20
You tend to be intuitive by nature, Taurus, but today you could receive psychic impressions by the dozen. You might even experience visions or hear voices. Don't worry – you aren't going crazy! You do, however, need to pay attention to these messages. They may have immense personal or even planetary significance. If you can't make sense of them, write them down. It should all be clear to you later.
Gemini May 21 - June 20
Communication with friends and partners should be clear, open, honest, and supportive today, Gemini. Camaraderie flows freely, and affection is shown without restraint or overkill. If you're presently involved but not yet committed, a declaration of love and an expression of desire to move the relationship to the next level could be in the wind. At the very least, your lover should pay you a compliment or two!
Cancer June 21 - July 22
Have you been reading about how a positive mental outlook creates a healthy body and a happy life, Cancer? If so, you might just find that this attitude brings results. You're feeling strong, fit, and mentally sharp. Career interests seem to be looking up for you. A fringe benefit is that you're probably feeling especially intuitive, too. Keep doing whatever you've been doing to bring this all about, because it's working!
Leo July 23 - August 22
Research that you've been doing for a particular project may finally be completed, Leo. Now you're ready to finish your work. Your mind is especially sharp right now, so this is a good time to work on any kind of project that involves communication. If you're a writer, your publishing prospects look good. Romance also should be going well. Perhaps you just became aware of a strong psychic bond between you and your beloved. Make the most of it!
Virgo August 23 - September 22
Dreams and visions about your family paint a rosy picture of your future, Virgo. These dreams could well be prophetic, but don't jump to that conclusion without first analyzing the symbols and discerning what your dreams are trying to tell you. There could be something that you need to consider before you can move ahead toward the future you want to create. But remember that dreams can be interpreted in more than one way!
Libra September 23 - October 22
Tonight you might decide to attend a social gathering held in your community that involves a lot of people who are into psychic or spiritual matters, Libra. This should be an interesting experience for you, because you could not only glean a lot of fascinating information but also make some new friends. Someone could recommend a few intriguing books. Keep your eyes and ears open, and take your address book with you. Have fun!
Scorpio October 23 - November 21
You're likely to receive news today that brightens your future outlook, Scorpio. It could be that your boss calls you at home and hints at a pending promotion, or your partner could receive a raise or unusually large bonus. Whatever the news, know that your financial picture will begin to look dramatically better than it has been. Start making plans for how you'll improve your lifestyle. A vacation may just be in order.
Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
Love and romance take top priority with you today, Sagittarius. You might be feeling a little insecure about the stability of your current relationship, but you're wasting your energy. For now, at least, things look very promising for you and your current lover. You should be communicating well and getting along great. Use your intuition to tune in to your friend's mind, and you'll probably feel your doubts and uncertainties slip away. Enjoy your day.
Capricorn December 22 - January 19
If you play your cards right, Capricorn, you just might be able to turn what you're picking up psychically into an exalted creative effort. The emotions and images flowing into your brain might be obscure, but they're significant in some way. Whether you write, play music, dance, or paint, you could be blown away by your own work. Whatever your materials, get them out and memorialize your inspiration. Tomorrow you'll be glad you did!
Aquarius January 20 - February 18
Expect to exchange a lot of phone calls and emails with friends today, Aquarius. Communication with others is your top priority. You have a lot of news to deliver and you'll receive a lot in return. Much of what you hear could be useful for whatever you're involved with now. The only downside is mental overload. You could feel as if your brain has spent the day running a marathon.
Pisces February 19 - March 20
Financial good fortune continues, Pisces, although old habits are hard to break and you might have difficulty adjusting to it. You could alternate between wanting to buy out the store and continuing to pinch pennies the way you used to. That's OK. Everybody has to make adjustments in life. Second only to falling in love, this will probably be one of the most pleasant adjustments you'll ever have to make!

Whilst on the subject of War on Terror bullshit, this little snippet from Reuters tickled me...
U.S. says Qaeda safe haven inaccessible WASHINGTON (Reuters)
- Al Qaeda's safe haven in northwestern Pakistan is largely inaccessible to outside forces and unlikely to be eliminated soon by the U.S. or Pakistani military, top intelligence officials said on Wednesday.
"Al Qaeda is now in a part of Pakistan that is largely inaccessible to Pakistani forces, the Pakistani government. Always has been. And it is a very difficult operating environment for them," said Edward Gistaro, the top U.S. intelligence analyst on transnational threats.
"It is just a very difficult environment for outside forces to operate in," he added.
Movie geeks of a certain age cannot help but notice that Al-Qaeda's reported tactics are gradually shifting away from recycled James Bond plots (coordinated global crime networks/ underground bases) and starting to be more in line with classic 'Lost World' genre movies of the 1970s
And, of course, every movie geek knows that the most effective way to penetrate lost worlds is to fly through a swarm of pterodactyls in an airship piloted by an eccentric English aristocrat and his butler.
Somebody needs to tell the people in charge of US counter-terror ops to change their tactics ASAP
In the meantime, another picture of Dana doing that pagan woman thing which, intercut with scenes of fighting dinosaurs, left a profound impression on 13 year old boys everywhere...

Post subject: burning dvd video on precise fails
shinobar wrote:
The dvdauthor in precise is 154kB, whereas slacko 533 has 135kB.
Anyway i guess the dvdauthor in precise is somewhat broken.
The package from ubuntu precise, dvdauthor_0.7.0-1.1build1_i386.deb has /usr/bin/dvdauthor of 154kB.
The package from slackware 13.37, dvdauthor-0.7.0-i486-1sl.txz has 138kB.
the slackware is fine but the precise fails.
EDIT: No, I tried both dvdauthor on precise puppy and BOTH failed.
The only success is the dvdauthor extracted from slacko 533 of 135kB.
That sais:
DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.7.0.
Build options: gnugetopt iconv freetype fribidi fontconfig
Have anyone tried to burn dvd video with the pburn on the precise puppy?

Old machines!?
Hi, guys.
You are calling Pentium 4 and Athlon XP machines with more than 1.6 GHz processors "old" machines!!??
I'm trying Puppy (Precise, retro-precise and perhaps Wary) in a 500 MHz Pentium III, 512 MB of RAM and 10 GB (slow) HD. That's an old machine to be rescued by Linux!
I fell the system (fully installed) quite slow with regular Precise. Do you think it's the system (should I use Wary?) or that y have formated the discs with ext4 file-system?
By the way, how do we configure a separated /home in another partition?
Cheers for Puppy!

I would full-install Wary 5.3 with ext2 file system, and 500 MB Linux-swap partition (usually placed at the end of the hard drive space) on a 500 MHz P3 computer with 512 MB ram. Run and test Wary 5.3 as live CD before you decide to install to hard drive.
If that doesn't satisfy, try ttuuxxx's ClassicPup 2.14x, which has an older kernel more suited to your older computer, but with up-to-date apps.
By the way, how do we configure a separated /home in another partition?
You should post this question in another section of the forum, either Beginner's Help or Users, because the question is off-topic. (topic = Precise Puppy 5.4.1 bugs)
EDIT: Gonzalo, please post issues with a slow computer and selection of suitable Puppy version in Beginner's Help or Users section of forum. Move discussion to there.

Post subject: I did it!
I did it, my friend.
I have a 500+ MB swap space at the begging of the HD.
I tested Puppy before installation, and I have used and tested other Puppies (Wary and previous versions). I still wonder which version is better for a 500 MHz PentiumIII (pae or non-pae Precise Puppy, or Wary at last!?).
A problem I have now is the low speed the system is showing. I guess is the ext4 partition instead of ext3 our 2, as you have suggested.
Log live GNU/Linux and Puppy!!!
PS: I saw the 214X-top10.iso page. Which one is the latest? the 10th? Thanks.

Post subject: Error messages in /tmp/xerrs.log
Subject description: Saving puppy to the SD card (USB)
Hello to everybody!
I have found a lot of entries in the /tmp/xerrs.log file. They all sound the same.
Using RetroPrecise Puppy 541 on my P-III 850, 1280MB. The pupsave file is 512MB. It's on a 2GB SD card (USB). Booting Puppy from my CD rom drive.
Merging /initrd/pup_rw onto /initrd/pup_ro1...
cp: cannot create special file `/initrd/pup_ro1/dev/snd/controlC0': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create special file `/initrd/pup_ro1/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create special file `/initrd/pup_ro1/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create special file `/initrd/pup_ro1/dev/snd/seq': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create special file `/initrd/pup_ro1/dev/snd/timer': No such file or directory
Merging /initrd/pup_rw onto /initrd/pup_ro1...
cp: cannot create special file `/initrd/pup_ro1/dev/snd/controlC0': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create special file `/initrd/pup_ro1/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create special file `/initrd/pup_ro1/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c': No such file or directory
Looked at it a bit closer and there we go.
While the pupsave file is written to the SD card for the first time, there exists no directory ../snd.. in /initrd/pup_ro1/dev/ .
Therefore the copying fails. After I copied the directory ../snd into /initrd/pup_ro1/dev the 'save' to the SD card went well.
Now the xerrs.log reads like this:
Merging /initrd/pup_rw onto /initrd/pup_ro1...
Ah, Precise Puppy running on a hard drive in frugal mode uses ../initrd/pup_ro2.. instead of ../initrd/pup_ro1.. .
../initrd/pup_ro2/dev has a /snd folder, ../initrd/pup_ro1/dev does not.
Question: There is no /usb folder in /initrd/pup_ro1/dev how about that? (needed or not?)

Precise retro 541
I have notice that after a while using Geany that it would not minimize when clicking on the taskbar.
Has any one else have this problem?
..there is a little problem..
If you maximize the Geany window by clicking at the right hand top position and hitting the F11 key sometime afterwards, then you'll not be able to minimize the Geany window the usual way.
..the solution to it..
You'll have to drag the Geany window from the lower right hand side to a smaller size. After you have done this, you'll be able to maximize and minimize Geany the usual way again.
Rem.: @oldyeller Hi! If you maximized Geany by using the F11 key, you will have to follow the above described step.
Confirm the trouble report of oldyeller.
Just happened while typing.

Hi BarryK et al.
Precise 5.4 PAE with a few additions and tweaks is now precisely perfect for me. I tried 5.4.1 but in my case there was nothing to fix - so I don't need it.
My 486 capable machine cannot install any applications from the PPM, but if I have to get an i686 replacement (maybe with oodles of RAM though since last year I haven't used Swap) - I'm ready.
All the pre-installed apps I've tried are working well so I have all the entertainment I need and with LibreOffice, four additional browsers, a flat portable linux database and many "Wine" programs etc, etc. I don't need any PPM extras.
There are two Menu/Launcher applications that may have wide user appeal:
(1) AppStarter. see screen shot, provides quick access to the traditional Puppy desktop icons - so that the original icons can be permanently deleted. I didn't want a total break with tradition - even the icons and their order can be changed as desired.
(2) PupMenu, amongst other useful facets, can help newcomers and non-experts with facilities to:
(a) hide items in the Main Menu (see screen shot). Utility supports 25 Apps, but 23 are hidden and can be seen in PupMenu. I hid some 180 items in total so my Main Menu is clean, lean and personalised.
(b) enable apps to be moved in the Main Menu e,g. Glipper, the clipboard app, was originally under Desktop. However, when I installed Parcellite, another clipboard app, it appeared under Utility - So I "moved" Glipper to join it.
(c) change app descriptions in the Main Menu. Glipper originally had a much longer name. Main Menu icons can also be changed if desired.
(d) add Main Menu items for Portable Linux Apps and/or Wine progs or whatever else that works yet isn't added automatically.
(e) plus. I use seaside's SFS-Exec which readies SFS files instantaneously - but they don't normally update in the Main Menu. Loading (or refreshing) PupMenu is one way to achieve super-fast SFS loads.
Stars do not come bigger or brighter than BarryK - so I hope he'll not take it amiss if I say - My Precise "is better than the real thing".
My regards
Note: I 've hidden my drive partitions using the 'Desktop drive icons manager' but Htop suggests this adds at least 10% to my CPU usage?
Desktop (1998 with 2002 Motherboard replacement) @ 2.0 GHz with 640 MB (SDRAM).
Precise 5.4 PAE + Slacko 5.3.1 Main + W98SE solely for rare printing needs.
Seldom updating a Multi-session-live-CD, though saving data ad lib to an ext4 USB2 stick.
If any loaded apps are minimised to the tray - they can be reloaded instantaneously.

Post subject: wireless on precise
Subject description: not working
Thought I would have a look at precise ...dont know why because lucid works perfectly for me and I had a few issues so I thought I would report them to precises developers....
My usb mini wireless 8192cu (realtek chips set i believe) is not working....well it lights up but refuses to connect to WPA2. It does work in Lucid Puppy.....
so I tried my usb TP-LINK TL-WN422G which did not work oob either....this one was a problem in lucid too and I had to load NDIS wrapper (.inf file) and type in the following things and reboot
ndiswrapper -a 0cf3:1006 netathuw
ndiswrapper -m
ndiswrapper -ma
ndiswrapper -mi
this got the lights on for tp-link but once again could not connect to wpa2.....I am not an expert so I cant fix these things ......but Tempestuous did get the realtek usb to work by recompiling the module under the correct kernel in lucid......I think he did the same with the TP-LINK usb...but I already had it going under NDIS wrapper so never tested (or bothered using the bulky dongle after I got the mini usb).....so maybe someone can do similar thing for precise ......
or maybe I am barking up the wrong tree and maybe its a wpa2 issue? bethatasitmay......not working......showstopper...... so I will go back to lucid and check in on precise later in its development cycle to see how its going ....thanks

I also had some wireless issues with 5.4.1, though these may well be intermittent failures. I was able to connect with a Realtech 8192ce mini-PCIe card using WPA on one machine. On another (the Dell Inspiron N4010 which sparked
an off-topic rant
) I had trouble either holding a connection or making it initially. In that case the wireless AP was using WEP, which may not have been tested as much.
I have returned the repaired machine, so it will take time for me to follow up on the problem. In the brief testing I did on delivery I had trouble connecting with that AP, though I had not had trouble connecting to my own wireless LAN (WPA encryption) using the same machine and 5.4.1. I seemed to have better luck with the old networking wizard than with Barry's simple network setup, but this may be a result of simple randomness.
More to follow when I have access to the machine again.

I recommend not doing full install, at all. Use frugal, it's OK.
In full install there's problem when installing software from PPM. It messes everything up. Font and icons disappear. So don't do it.
I have installed frugal, and it work fine, and fast (to hard drive, btw).
However, I have a little problem. I guess I should start new thread fro this, but I'll post it here anyway (I hope it won't be a problem).
Since I'm from Serbia, and I browse web pages with cyrilic fonts frequently. But some letters do not look as they should and they are to small. Is there a way to fix this? maybe to import font from ubuntu machine or something like that?

LADSPA audio effects for mhwaveedit and Audacity
A new version of mhwaveedit is needed to support plugins.
Fortunately Pemasu was able to get hold of a version.
I have made a pet package to quickly install
mhwaveedit. If you want more audio effects for mhwaveedit
then install the included LADSPA-plugins.
Note ---> This version of mhwaveedit won't run in most puppies
because of the many dependencies it needs.
The flange effect and the speed effect is neat
You will see a longer effects menu in mhwaveedit (see image)

There were numerous reports of exactly this problem. But it was not clear whether it was specific to full installs.
Sage wrote:
Precise gives few issues for FULL installation across a broad spectrum of HW. Recommendation to avoid it is ill-conceived. .
May I make a suggestion? Komarx6 should pick an app from the PPM that he knows will corrupt a full install. Sage should then install it on his system using the same procedure.

I posted a possible reason for borked (yes, "borked" is not a word!) icons after installing a package
, however I was unable to reproduce it in a frugal install.
I think this is because in the layered filesystem the original /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache (a symlink in precise to /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders .. Barry's design) is always seen through the layers but in a full install it is a real file and has one location, /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache. Actually the converse could also be true causing confusion to the OS.
I didn't get any feedback on my post (linked above) but the post below by zul seems to suggest that what I hypothesised is true.
It is true that we need more testers or reports on this problem to come to an appropriate solution. This has ramifications for more than Precise but also Debian testing (wheezy) and Raspbian (raspberry pi, which by their very nature are
installs) builds.

Got a bit busy with the holidays, but finally wrapping up my final week of the challenge, from Tangshan!
Tuesday, November 22nd
After waking up multiple days with neck pain, I thought it would be appropriate to make my first trip to a Chinese chiropractor recommended by a friend. Having been to a few chiropractors in the US, I found the experience quite similar yet overall less comprehensive than past experience. Instead of taking x-rays and asking about my lifestyle, I just pointed to where it hurt, got a massage, an adjustment and was given some magnesium to ease muscle tension. The massage was a nice component, which I have never received in the states, as well as the doctor being bi-lingual (since he also practices in California.) However, I only spent a total of twenty minutes with him and was quite shocked to get a bill over 700RMB! I'm interested in visiting a more traditional office, but my Chinese isn't good enough to go without a friend to translate.
That evening I attended Carol Liu's inspiring documentary, Restoring the Light, about rural blindness and healthcare issues in China. The movie was exactly what I needed, a good cry and reminder of problems bigger than paying too much for the chiropractor. Professor Scott Rozelle from Stanford also gave an insightful talk about healthcare and priorities, illustrating for example, that eliminating one-third of China's budget to reach the moon could fund vitamins, food and worm detection for all of the children in western, rural China. In my eyes, the event also highlighted another theme of local culture; China's discomfort with allowing foreigners (or anyone) to highlight social issues. More than one Chinese audience member responded on the defensive to Professor Rozelle's statistics regarding rural poverty and healthcare, citing that Obama's healthcare plan also didn't make significant strides in solving US healthcare issues. It's unfortunate that this is the message gleaned from such fieldwork, but addresses some of the sensitivities present in beginning to accurately diagnose social problems in China.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Malaika Hahne, the new Executive Director of Little Flower Projects. She took me out to their orphanage in Shunyi, where I was incredibly impressed by not only the facility and organization of the center, but the compassion and dedication of the staff. Although each ayi is responsible for two babies, many of the staff seem to know each child intimately. Malaika's compassion to help these children was genuinely heart-warming, and her efforts seem to be paying off, as Little Flower Projects is making quite a name for itself in the local community. Nothing puts a smile on your face more than holding a little smiling baby.
For lunch I had a locally-sourced lunch made from Chef Sue's trial-run dishes for a future class, and hosted a charity cooking class at The Hutong.
Thursday, November 24th
On Thursday I either completely lost my mind, or decided that I really needed to go all out during the last week of the challenge. Fighting off the urge to go across the street to Jenny Lou's for soymilk and kitty litter, I ran in the freezing cold to Jinkelong. The run back ended up being much colder and difficult than I expected, and it took all I had to waddle home clutching my bag of litter with both arms and freezing hands.
Thursday night was Thanksgiving, which I celebrated with a group of expat and Chinese friends; turkey and gong bao ji ding was quite the combination!
Friday, November 25th
I spent the morning biking around the city doing errands and buying supplies for a corporate holiday party. In the evening I met up with Joel Shucuat from The Orchid, who introduced me to the social networking wonders of WeiXin. I spent the night leaving voice messages, throwing bottles out to sea, and shaking to find friends. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the WeiXin app, it's a great way for foreigners to make Chinese friends and practice their Chinese! We also snacked on some local Hainan chicken while Joel frantically arranged dinner preparations for the guests at his hotel.
Saturday, November 26th
I taught in the morning and was informed by the school nurse that there was 500+ API…perhaps the most polluted day I have experienced in Beijing. I waited til the air cleared a bit in the evening, and went on my last training run before the half marathon. I know I shouldn't have run, but it was my last reasonable period of free time before the race. Although I noticed the cold a lot more than the air quality, my clothes reeked of coal when I got home. This was the first time I had noticed the pollution is such a tangible way, and was quite disheartened to think about how much Beijinger's lives are affected by the poor air quality.
Sunday, November 27th
On Sunday I was a real expat. I helped plan a traditional American birthday party alongside my co-workers, which included homemade birthday cake, baseball and rugby in Chaoyang park and flipping burgers at The Filling Station in Shunyi. It was incredibly fun and decidedly UN-local.
Monday, November 28th
On Monday I recruited my friend Tom Pattinson to show me his favorite Shaanxi restaurant around the hutongs where we work. We chowed down on their famed roujiamo and dumplings, which was perfect a perfect meal for a cold winter day. That evening my friends arrived from the US and we had a feast at Jing Zun duck restaurant. Eating local is quite ful-filling!
Tuesday, November 29th
On Tuesday I became tour guide for a day and took my friends to Dong Jiao Market, one of my favorite spots in Beijing. I showed them around some food stalls, the wet market and tea warehouse. During an extended tea ceremony we bought way too much tea and learned more about Nanjing greens, Taiwan oolongs and Huyi Shan blacks. They liked the black and oolongs, while I preferred the greens and whites. It was so fun to briefly introduce friends to the Chinese tea culture I love, and pick-up a bag of awesome An Ji Zhejiang cha. That night we also had hot pot on Gui Jie!
Wednesday, November 30th -END OF CHALLENGE
Appropriately, I celebrated the last day of the challenge with KTV! The Hutong staff and I donned Santa hats and rockstar gear and belted out tunes from Michael Jackson to The Carter Sisters, to which my Chinese colleagues knew the lyrics better than I. Chinese culture never ceases to amaze me.
Thursday, December 1st
I promptly went to Jenny Lou's and loaded up on Silk soymilk and cereal, the two things I missed most during this adventure.
Saturday, December 3rd
I headed off to Shanghai to run in my first Chinese half-marathon. Race day was a story within itself, but overall the race was a big success and despite gaining a few pounds, my predominantly Chinese diet did not prevent me from crossing the finish line with a personal best.
I think it's pretty obvious that my lifestyle is far from local. Throughout this challenge I bounced between feelings of guilt and satisfaction, but overall feel content that this personal quest helped me reflect on my expat lifestyle and motivate me to seek out new experiences in the capital. I realized that while I loved living in the typically Chinese city of Tangshan, it's the ability to choose between western/international and Chinese options that makes me most content about living in Beijing. However, this experience made me miss my Chinese "hometown" so much that I'm writing this conclusion from a brief visit back to Tangshan.
To sum up my experience, I thought I would give a few tips gleaned from living and traveling for nearly two years in China, for us lao wais who want to have a more local China experience:
1. Learn basic Chinese. Although I haven't taken formal classes, I often carry around a dictionary, notebook and ipod full of Chinese lessons. I can't tell you how much more fun China becomes speaking a bit of Mandarin. Learning Chinese doesn't have to happen in a classroom; I prefer getting one-on-one Chinese lessons from taxi drivers, masseuses, shop owners, co-workers and even my elementary-aged English students. Start with pointing in markets and go from there!
2. Make Chinese friends…but how? Cheesy as it sounds, lots of normal and friendly local Chinese use social networking sites like WeLiveInBeijing, BJ Stuff and The Beijinger to find language partners and friends.
3. Spend time in a smaller Chinese city. It's nearly impossible not to learn more about Chinese food, hobbies and language if you live in a place with far less foreign exposure, and there are a variety of solid programs that will assist you in this experience. My friend Robbie Fried runs the Chinese Language Institute in Guilin, which I would highly recommend for this type of immersion. http://www.studycli.org/ Additionally, Tangshan is only two hours east of Beijing, and private English centers there are always looking for foreign teachers; I would be happy to connect you!

Let me tell you what this post is not. This is not a post about building your follower count, or using Twitter to drive clicks to your website, or fancy ways to monetize your profile. There's plenty of that garbage out there already. This is also not a list of best practices from professional bloggers and twitterers. For that I recommend heading over to Twitip.
What this post is, is an illustration of how I have been using Twitter since I started in about July '08. I am not trying to tell you how you should use it. That would be like me telling you how to use the telephone properly. Twitter is a communication tool, and everyone will use communication tools (email, blogs, phones, txt, their mouths…) differently for different situations.
How I have used the platform to date has really worked well for me, and since people ask me about this all the time, I thought it prudent to get it down on paper. Well… you know what I mean. Oh – if you would like to follow, here's me: @rickgalan. Continue reading

BEN BARBA'S star continues to rise after he was given the honour of launching this year's NRL season.
Fairfax Media can reveal the Bulldogs fullback will give a speech to officially kick off the year on behalf of the players at a gala function at the new events centre at The Star on Wednesday, February 27.
It caps a stellar period for the 23-year-old after winning the Dally M medal, appearing in a grand final, earning inclusion in Queensland's emerging Origin squad and being chosen to represent the Indigenous side for Saturday's All Stars game at Suncorp Stadium.
"It's a pretty big moment in my footy career," Barba said. "I found out last week. When [Canterbury CEO] Todd [Greenberg] came down and pulled me aside I thought I was in trouble there for a bit.
"It's an absolute honour to be doing this on behalf of all the great players in the game. I can't wait to see what the night is all about, I'm really looking forward to it.
"It's a reward for the season I had last year and I can't say how thankful I am for being chosen.
"It caps off a good season and hopefully it puts me in the right frame of mind to reproduce the form I did last year."
Barba has taken his game to a new level under Canterbury coach Des Hasler to the point where he is now one of the most recognisable and marketable men in league.
"It highlights Ben's ongoing improvement in the game and that resonates both on and off the field," Greenberg said. "Last year was obviously a good year for Ben and the Bulldogs and this honour is a direct reflection of that."
Barba will follow on from Manly playmakers Kieran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans, who gave the address last season. And while Barba will feature in the NRL's new advertising campaign, NRL marketing boss Paul Kind stressed the league was not bestowing him with the title of "face of the game".
"While we will use Ben appropriately throughout the year in promotions and marketing, there is no intention to elevate him above other players in our marketing of the game," he said.
"Obviously it was an outstanding performance on the field last year and the football that he played is representative of everything that people love about rugby league. He's about to go into the indigenous All Stars and hopefully have another big year ahead."
The season unofficially kicks off with the All Stars game, with Wayne Bennett's team taking on Laurie Daley's Indigenous side.
"We're excited to be launching what we believe will be the most exciting year in rugby league," Kind said.
"It starts with the Roosters-Rabbits to open the season on the Thursday night and will finish with a World Cup final at Old Trafford on November 30, with State of Origin in the middle."
Barba, who will attempt to become the first player to win back-to-back Dally M medals since Andrew Johns in 1998-99, knows he will be a marked man this year.
"After the season I had last year I've always said it would be hard to back it up," Barba said.
"I'll try to perform really well for the Bulldogs week-in and week-out and hopefully let my footy do the talking. If that happens rewards can come on the back of that."

Lobbying Local Councillors and Officers
Lobbying Local Councillors and Officers
Ultimately, you want to have regular, open dialogue and avoid being ostracised.
Lobbying Councillors
First determine where councillors stand on cycling. Party-political allegiance and personal sympathy will probably influence this. The sympathies of councillors can be gauged from their public pronouncements, by writing to them or attending public meetings or their 'surgeries'.
Sympathetic councillors: if cultivated, can be very useful in a number of ways, including:
- Inside information
- Representing your case to the council and in committee
- Local party influence
- Influence over officers
Neutral responses: your task is to persuade councillors who have hardly ever given cycling a thought to take it seriously. Some ways of doing this are:
- Personal approach: talk to them - as one campaigner put it: "The secret is getting their 'ear', then pouring friendly, constructive ideas into it." (!)
- Informing them: make sure they subscribe to Cycling UK's monthly online campaigning newsletter, Cycle Campaign News; ask Cycling UK National Office for guidance to pass on to them, when needed
- Referring to the councillor's party manifesto: your councillor should fulfil promises made by his/her party's manifesto. An important tactic therefore is to get pro-cycling statements into the local manifesto of all parties in the first place – lobbying for a good few months before a council election is highly recommended (information on election timings should be available from the council's website – or give them a call).
Key Points:
- Councillors are very busy, so give them clear, concise information – avoid swamping them with pages and pages.
- Establish yourself as a reliable source of information
- If proposing a meeting, set an agenda and take notes (or minutes, if more formal)
- Be aware of a councillor's reputation before allying yourself too closely with them
- Speak their language, making the case for cycling in terms they understand (economy, best value, air quality)
Lobbying Officers
The make-up of councils varies considerably as does the names and remit of departments that might have an impact on cycling. As a general guide, the officers with whom you are most likely to benefit from contact are those responsible at some level for: transport; highways; cycling; planning; rights of way; road safety; environment etc.
Becoming familiar with the council is the only way of identifying your 'best bets'. Your council may have an officer dedicated to cycling, or you may discover that the person responsible for cycling has other duties as well. Unlike councillors, the same officer may be in post for years.
Key points
- Officers are often snowed under with work, so a good tactic is to offer to do their jobs for them (or at least assist them rigorously) – e.g. put together detailed and sensible proposals that they can implement with little further work necessary.
- Be alert to the possibility that some officers want a quiet life and might be tempted to cite dubious technical or policy objections
- Lack of cycling budget is a frequent problem – so bear this in mind
- Officers sometimes feel caught in the front line between councillors and the public.
- Be aware that councillors go directly to council departments with their demands and don't undermine or overuse an officer's authority.
- Again, speak their language (see above)
- Don't keep kicking a closed door – you will merely damage your relationship with officers. Once you've made your point, don't repeat it ad nauseam
- If dialogue breaks down, analyse why things are not working currently and consider another line of approach.
- Remember that cycling is not just about engineering schemes.
- Policy commitment: work to ensure that your council develops a commitment to 'think bike' in transport planning and management - this can help improve conditions at no extra cost
- Consultation: make sure your council consults you regularly whenever something that affects cycling is on the agenda.
- Planning: work to ensure that cycling is explicitly supported and provided for in all local plans, transport and beyond.
- Cycle Forum: try to attend your local Cycle Forum to enable officers and councillors (and sometimes the police or other interested parties) to come together regularly to discuss cycling issues)
- Budget: try to encourage your council to commit money to cycling (not just to engineering schemes, but to 'smarter choice' measures too – e.g. education, training, maps etc)
- Cycling Strategy: keep tabs on your council's Cycling Strategy and the targets within in. Help revise and monitor it as necessary.
- Cycle Audit and Review: promote the use of cycle audits on new schemes and cycle reviews on those already in existence.
- Cycle Counts – suggest and assist with proper surveys establishing the true levels of cycling use and, crucially, of demand in the area.
For lobbying both officers and councillors:
- Avoid hostile confrontation at all costs; remember that officers and even councillors can and do make complaints about Cycling UK local campaigners whom they believe to have behaved in a vexatious or unprofessional manner, Cycling UK views and handles complaints against its accredited representatives very seriously indeed.
- Be persistent, well briefed, positive and professional.
